Plus 1. I've done something similar in the past. My approach was to
see if "Untitled" was already taken, if so try "Untitled 2", etc. From
memory I kept going until 20 (a number all but the most perverse user
wouldn't reach in my case). If "Untitled 20" (& everything preceding)
was taken it got named with a date stamp, "Untitled 2009122215353803"
for example.
